fs.glob pattern my_folder/**/* not working as expected #574

Description

@LutzFassl

Hello, I was under the impression I can use fs.glob mostly like the standard glob library.
However I wonder if it is intended that the pattern folder/**/* behaves differently between them.

Standard glob: glob.glob("my_folder/**/*", recursive=True) --> ** means same folder or any folder level below
--> Finds all files in my_folder and below. Folders are excluded, which is desired in my case.

fs.glob: fs.glob("my_folder/**/*") seems to behave differently: does not find any files that are directly within my_folder.
Finds only files that are at least one level below my_folder.

So the best thing for me would probably to run with fs.glob("my_folder/**") and then filter out the directories afterwards... ?
